Bird Watching

The birdwatching in Madeira has a large potential because of the unique ecosystems that exist in the Island, with 42 breeding species and subspecies of birds, including two endemic species for Madeira, others endemic for the Macaronesian (biogeographic region which includes Madeira, Azores, Canary and Cape Verde archipelagos), and is also the southern and northern limit for some bird species.
